Chapter 2

1617 Words
I woke up feeling drowsy, and the movement of whatever I was in was not making it easy. I opened my eyes slowly, trying not to alert anyone, and then looked around slowly. It was already daylight in a moving black car, and my legs and hands were cuffed. There were two guards with me at the back, then the driver of the car. I could see another car in front of us and the sound of another at our back, so I tried to look around and see if I recognized where I was, but then someone grabbed my throat. My brother's Gamma, Klein—I hated that asshole for a whole lot of reasons. Since he was the one in charge of getting my brother's commands done, he was guilty of every crime you could think of. "I guess you are awake. The Alpha can't wait for the family reunion, since we told him that we found you." He was talking, but his hands on my throat were giving me visions, and for once I let it play out, I saw him talking on the phone with Katie Pierce, and then he gave the phone to her mate, then kicked the mate on the stomach. "Please stop, please stop," Katie begged. "If I stop, then make sure you deliver your part of the deal, the Alpha's sister for your mate," he said, cutting the call, but then he grabbed his gun and emptied the bullets on her mate head, killing him. He pushed me so that I fell on the other guard, but thankfully my body did not make contact with his body long enough for anything to show. Besides, not everyone's darkest secrets turn up when I touch them; some take up to hours or days for me to get anything out of them. He slapped me on the cheeks. "Witch, you are trying to entrap me again, but it wouldn't work, and if you try something like that again, then I will kill you, even if your brother wants you back alive." My cheeks were stinging, but I kept my face blank and kept looking ahead. Fighting this fool will not get me anywhere. My main focus was to find a way to escape because if he handed me back to my brother, it would be a fate worse than death. He poked my hand. "How did I take the fight off of you so fast? I was hoping that you would put up a fight, and this would be fast." I did not talk, still pretending to be defeated, but I was still looking around, trying to see if I could escape, and I saw that we had entered my pack. "Where is Katie?" I asked Finn. "Dead like you will be if we are not going to use you to appease that Alpha that lost his child." I scoffed. "You mean, Alpha, that Russo killed his child?" He grabbed my hair, and I could not fight him off since my hand was cuffed. "Shut up, the Alpha's have arrived," he said, then put a tape on my mouth. I looked outside the window; there were truly many cars outside the pack house. He put me on his shoulder like a sack and moved to the house, but he did not go through the front entrance. I kept fighting and kicking him, but it did not seem like it was doing anything to him. The servants who worked with us kept looking at me like they had seen a ghost, but I ignored them and kept fighting. He put me down in my room and slapped the back of my head. "Shut up." I was about to hurl curses at him when the door opened and Russo stepped in. He grabbed my throat and was trying to choke my life out of me. "How dare you escape? Were you trying to make me a laughing stock?" he said. I kept hitting his hand and trying to push his hand off because I was dying, but then he removed his hand. "Get her ready, and I trust that the makeup will cover her neck." He said to the women standing in my room, I did not notice that anyone was there earlier. "Don't nod; I need words. I am already so stressed out." "It will cover everything, Alpha," one of them replied shakily. "Then get it done; I will be back in thirty minutes for her." He unlocked the silver chain on my legs since he was wearing gloves. Then chained my hand to the back, but Russo, being his wicked self, pushed me so hard that I landed on the other side of the room. The women rushed and helped me up, though every part of my body was hurting now. They whisked me to the bathroom and removed my clothes. "What's your name?" I asked one of the women. "Sandra," she replied. "Sandra, can't you just let me go? If I go down there, then life will be over for me. Please let me go," I begged. "Sorry, Princess, but the Alpha will hurt our family if we let you go, so please save your breath," she said and continued washing me off. I would have put up much fighting, but I was still drowsy, and besides, my hands were still chained, so I would not get far. I shut up, and they cleaned me up, did my makeup, and wore me a dress when I looked at the mirror. When they were done, I did not recognize myself; they covered all my bruises and blemishes. They were putting on my shoes when the door opened and Russo entered. He pushed the woman off, then pointed at the door, and they all fled. "If you try anything stupid, there are many angry Alphas that will cut you down, so if I were you, I would behave." I felt the prick of a needle and started thrashing. He was injecting me with wolf's bane again to weaken me. He opened the cuffs and then started dragging me down to the living room. I tried not to look into anyone's eye and stood there like a statue while waiting for a time when I would make a run for it. The room radiated power, showing you that these were Alpha's. "This is what I am offering; do you accept it? A woman for another woman," Russo said to the man I recognized as the Alpha of Lake Blood. His son Ethan is a friend, and they used to visit often when my father was alive. The Alpha of Lake Blood looked at my face like he was inspecting it, then nodded. "My son Ethan will have her, and you will still give me those two hundred million dollars. Thank the Alpha King for coming to settle the case, and then I will tell the Alpha King brother that I am willing to let bygones be bygone." I started moving back to escape, but then I decided against it. It was Ethan, and the one I know is kind and thoughtful, so it was not a bad idea; it was better than having to run for the rest of my life or even staying in my pack. "Fine, I will do all that. Remember what you promised when the meeting starts." They were still talking when we heard the sound of a plane outside, and then everyone stood up. I could not see anything, but then someone gasped. "The Alpha King came with his brother," someone said and gasped. My wolf started to dance too. She had kept whimpering throughout my humiliation, and for some reason, she had loved the idea of the Alpha King coming in here. Russo started to blink, and I could see his face turning white. I was sure that this was his first time seeing the Alpha King. It was usually his brother that my father and the rest talked with, but my father once told me that he never leaves his palace unless it is very important, and wherever he goes, he often leaves a trail of dead bodies. The door opened, revealing four men who looked almost the same, but I recognized the Alpha King without being told. He was taller than the rest, had long black hair, and had two eye colors, black and red. He was so handsome in that intense way. "Go pull his shirt off and mount him," she whispered at the back of my head. I did not know where that came from, but I shut her up and concentrated on his brothers; they were tall and handsome too, but they were pale in comparison to him. "Long live the Alpha King." They greeted him, but I still hadn't found my voice. Instead of looking at them, his eyes cut to me. His eyes widened, and then he started walking towards me. I snapped out of my trance and turned to run, but I found him in front of me. My eyes widened, and I started stammering, "Lo..ng li..ve t..he Alp..ha." "Stop stammering and greet the Alpha King." The voice I recognized to be my brother's Beta Lin said, then he slapped me on the back of my head. I heard something fall with a loud thud to the ground, and when I opened my eyes, his heart was lying on the ground next to him. My eyes went to the Alpha King that was in front of me like he did not just kill someone, and his left hand was all soaked in blood. "Mate," he whispered, then grabbed my jaw.
